What? **Miller** moved the thread around 12 hours before your insults were posted, and he announced the move: > [@10 Commandments](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/10-commandments/611736/15): > > [Moderating] > This seems like a better fit for GD than the Pit. > [/Moderating] > [@ambushed](#): > > I think a new rule forbidding moving threads out of the Pit should be implemented. What say you? No, sometimes a thread just doesn’t belong in the Pit- usually the threads that get moved are of the “I pit my life/myself” type, but this thread just wasn’t a Pitting. **Miller** handled everything appropriately and we’re not interested in trapping people with secret thread moves. It looks like you just didn’t notice **Miller** ’s announcement, because you responded to posts by me and **Granny Rainbow** that were made after the thread was moved and announced. Nobody was warned because the thread went off the rails anyway, but even if you’d received a warning it wouldn’t have been a big deal. Once in a while people forget which forum they’re in. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/problems-arise-from-threads-being-moved-out-of-the-pit/611940)._
